John Cena Sends A Message For The WWE Universe: 'I Don't Know How Much Time In The WWE I Have Left'

Stamford, December 29 - WWE Superstar John Cena made his final appearance on the grand stage of WWE SmackDown, dressing up to give a special toast to none other than the WWE Universe itself. Cena, who made a brief return to the SmackDown roster in 2023, took a moment to express his gratitude to the fans who have supported him throughout the year. ## The 16-time World Champion, known for his charismatic presence and undeniable connection with the audience, appeared via video on the final SmackDown of the year. Cena's speech was filled with appreciation for the warm reception he received upon his return in the fall, acknowledging the respect, generosity, empathy, and excitement that the WWE Universe showered upon him. ## "WWE Universe, John Cena here, all dressed up to celebrate a wonderful group of people. A toast to the WWE Universe for making my 2023. As you know, I was able to return to SmackDown in the fall, and the reception and the respect, I will never forget. I do not know how much time in the WWE I have left, but I do know in recent times when I've been able to return home, you have always welcomed me as one of your own. I am forever indebted to your generosity, your empathy, your respect, and your excitement," Cena expressed in the heartfelt message. ## The toast not only acknowledged the fans for their unwavering support but also hinted at Cena's uncertainty about his future in WWE. He openly admitted that he does not know how much time he has left in the wrestling world, adding a sense of nostalgia and anticipation for what might lie ahead. ## Cena's departure from WWE coincides with the conclusion of a Hollywood strike, and the legendary wrestler was transparent about his priorities at this stage of his life and career. Hollywood has called Cena back to its fold, and he expressed his intention to focus on his ventures in the entertainment industry. ## The WWE Universe, while saddened by Cena's departure, has shown nothing but respect for the decision, understanding that Cena's contributions to the wrestling world have been immeasurable. As the 2023 chapter closes, fans will fondly remember Cena's final toast, eagerly anticipating the next round and hoping for more electrifying moments in the future. ## "I do not know how much time in the WWE I have left..."@JohnCena has a message for the WWE Universe. 🥹#SmackDown pic.twitter.com/orSx0eZJOs— WWE (@WWE) December 30, 2023 ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Mercedes Mone (Sasha Banks) Isn't Expected Back In WWE

Stamford, December 29 - Mercedes Mone's return to WWE is not anticipated, as indicated by a recent report. According to Fightful Select, negotiations between WWE and the former Sasha Banks have reached an impasse. ## Sources from WWE revealed on Friday night that talks had ceased, stating that the two parties "were no longer in negotiations regarding a return." Despite amicable discussions, the inability to make progress led to WWE's decision to walk away from the negotiations. ## Fightful also mentioned that another source within WWE believes that Mone is likely to make an appearance elsewhere "imminently." Before her ankle injury, Mone had ventured into NJPW, where she clinched the IWGP Women’s Championship. ## She was also spotted in the audience at AEW’s All In event at Wembley Stadium in August. However, no further developments occurred between Mone and AEW. Mone's tenure with WWE abruptly concluded in May 2022 when creative differences prompted her and Trinity (Naomi) to leave before a Raw episode. ## The two were subsequently suspended indefinitely and stripped of the Women's Tag Team titles. Trinity has since signed with Impact Wrestling/TNA. In 2023, Mone made appearances in NJPW until sustaining an ankle injury in May during a match against Willow Nightingale. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Chris Jericho & Sammy Guevara Officially Reunite, Set To Challenge For AEW Tag Team Titles

Jacksonville, December 29 - During Friday's Rampage, Chris Jericho and Sammy Guevara officially reunited, marking a significant development following the events that unfolded on Dynamite earlier in the week. As a consequence of their reconciliation, the duo is now slated to vie for the AEW Tag Team titles in the near future. ## The episode showcased Jericho and Guevara addressing their past issues. Guevara, who had turned on Jericho earlier in the year and subsequently dealt with a concussion, explained that he blamed Jericho for his stagnation but realized he was hindering his own progress. Jericho, in turn, apologized for being overly controlling and guiding Guevara in the wrong direction. Ultimately, Jericho proposed reuniting their team, and the segment concluded with a heartfelt hug between the two. ## Guevara had recently returned after being sidelined due to both a concussion and the joyous arrival of his new child with wife Tay Melo. His return took a dramatic turn on Wednesday when, after a confrontation with Don Callis, Guevara was given an ultimatum to choose between his new family or the Callis family. Opting for neither, Guevara attacked Callis, who then faced retaliation from other members of the Callis family until Jericho intervened to save Guevara. ## The AEW Tag Team title match originally involved The Young Bucks, who had secured the victory. However, following their loss to Chris Jericho & Kenny Omega at Full Gear in November, the Bucks were set to face AEW Tag Team Champions Big Bill & Ricky Starks at Worlds End. Unfortunately, the match was impacted by Kenny Omega's indefinite sidelining as he recovered from diverticulitis. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
